lyrics

13 hours on the drive home
But who's counting?
13 hours 'til I'm right back where I started
Back to basics
To the basement
To the nights we waste away
Under watchful eyes we'll find a reason
'Cause this is what it's like to be set free

I've sold my soul for a minimum wage
Working night after night for the chance to escape
To my youths naivety
A false reality
A fall from grace and a loss of gravity
Keeps me standing on the ground
When the words fall silent from my mouth
From pages torn by my own hands
I will learn to live and try it again

13 hours on the drive home
But who's counting?
13 hours 'til I'm right back where I started
Back to basics
To the basement
To the nights we waste away
Under watchful eyes we'll find a reason
'Cause this is what it's like to be set free

Paycheck to paycheck
Dust to dust
You can't take it with you
You can't count on lust
For all of the good things to get through the bad
'Cause what's left is nothing
And it's all that you have
And it's all that you need
We're born in the ashes of vanity
But oh I'm just fine
Walking down the line
Of a life less traveled
And I'm gonna do what's right

13 hours on the drive home
But who's counting?
13 hours 'til I'm right back where I started
Back to basics
To the basement
To the nights we waste away
Under watchful eyes we'll find a reason
'Cause this is what it's like to be set free

13 hours on the drive home
But who's counting?
13 hours 'til I'm right back where I started
Back to basics
To the basement
To the nights we waste away
Under watchful eyes we'll find a reason
'Cause this is what it's like to be set free

13 hours on the drive home
But who's counting?
13 hours 'til I'm right back where I started
Back to basics
To the basement
To the nights we waste away
Under watchful eyes we'll find a reason
The tides will turn we'll run to greet them
For all of our mistakes we'll see
That this is what it's like to be set free
